Section 7: Backing Up, Restoring
and Upgrading
Backing Up
It is extremely important to back up your M3 device after adding information or making changes. This
process creates a backup (.
bck
) file that saves information, such as your user settings, pages, symbols,
custom sound recordings and custom pictures. Preserving this information can help prevent data loss in the
event of a device failure. Once your user data is backed up, it can be restored to your device any time it is
needed.
Creating a Backup File
To complete a standard backup procedure, follow these steps:
Note:
